Indian Creek Killer Trial Begins | Kansas City News

Jury selection kicks off in the high-stakes trial of Fredrick Demond Scott, accused of murdering six white victims along Indian Creek Trail between 2016 and 2017 — all shot from behind in surprise attacks. After multiple delays tied to his mental competency, Scott was finally deemed fit to stand trial in 2025. His chilling 2014 statement about wanting to “kill all white people” added fuel to public fear, especially as all victims were white. The case broke wide open with the Steven Gibbons murder, where surveillance footage captured Scott tailing him off a bus — later linked via DNA from a discarded bottle, cigarette butt, and a t-shirt. Opening statements are set for Thursday before Judge Charles McKenzie in Kansas City. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
